BARCELONA, 30 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Secretary of State for Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructures, Roberto Sánchez, has asked to “flee” from the concept of ‘absolute autonomy’ in the manufacture of microchips.

In an interview in ‘La Vanguardia’ collected by Europa Press this Monday, Sánchez explained that “no one has absolute autonomy in a global chain”, but more or less prominence and participation in the supply of these components, and recalled that neither the The European Union considers this complete autonomy.

In this sense, the secretary believes that participating in the manufacture of microchips gives “a more privileged situation” in the supply chain of this sector. For this reason, he has indicated that the Government’s will is “to have the capacity to influence and have a strong influence on the supply chain.”

Sánchez recalled that the goal is “to be autonomous in 2030” in terms of manufacturing these devices and that Spain can play a role in the process of supplying important parts.

Thus, he assured that Spain is not late in implementing this industry and that the current increase in demand “can justify regional economies of scale”.

Regarding the new Audiovisual Law, Sánchez underlined that the text plans to increase the financing of independent production in Spain to 350 or 400 million euros.
